Fogarty's Overtime Goal Leads Panthers Past Mountaineers

Liz Fogarty scored in second overtime to give GSU a 2-1 win in Boone.

BOONE, N.C. -- Georgia State opened Sun Belt action with a thrilling 2-1 win in overtime Thursday at Appalachian State.

The Panthers overcame a slow start in the rain as the Mountaineers found a goal just before halftime to lead 1-0 at the break. GSU was just five minutes from defeat when Jolie Ryff received a pass from Ana Diaz and beat the keeper to even the game at 1-1 in the 85th minute.

The first 10-minute period of overtime produced nothing to separate the two sides. In the 104th minute, Liz Anne Fogarty, who scored the first goal of the season for GSU last Friday at Mercer, made a run between two Appalachian State defenders and Lexie Knox found the open Fogarty who went far-post to find the back of the net and win it for the Panthers.

"We talked at halftime about elevating our level of play and that starts with our energy," head coach Ed Joyce said. "I felt like we played much better in the second half. We've got good depth on this roster so it's a 'next woman up' mentality. We proved today we can find a way to win even not playing 

Georgia State improves to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the Sun Belt. GSU hosts its home opener Sunday at noon against Coastal Carolina. The game has been moved from the GSU Soccer Complex to Center Parc Stadium due to weather.
